Local Notes: Boxing club, sympathies and birthday celebrations
Birthday Corner
It was disappointment for Saviour's Crystal Boxing Club's very own Kelyn Cassidy recently in his quest for the Olympics. Having won two matches he lost very narrowly in his third match to put an end to his Olympic dream. The whole of Ireland is proud of you Kelyn, but especially all here in Waterford and Ballybeg where you are a great ambassador for sport. You will be back.

His remains lay in repose at his home on Wednesday, May 29. Micheal’s cremation will take place privately at a later date.
Predeceased by his parents Tommy and Annie and his sister Martina O’Sullivan, he is survived by his daughters Deirdre, Aisling, Sinead, and Brefini, his son Thomas, and their mother Breda and his eight grandchildren.
